FLASHWAVE® 9500
Packet Optical Networking Platform
As the communications world transforms, demand for
bandwidth and high-quality services is escalating. Residential
and business customers have rising expectations and are more
selective.
This shift in expectations challenges service providers to
migrate to a packet optical infrastructure, enabling diverse,
bandwidth-intensive services. Operators must also maintain
existing revenue-bearing services efficiently, as the transition to
packet optical networking takes shape. The underlying network
architecture must therefore be highly reliable, manageable, and
scalable to keep the lifetime cost below the revenue curve. The
FLASHWAVE 9500 platform addresses these challenges using an
innovative packet optical design.
Modular and Flexible
The FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP delivers ROADM, OTN,
Ethernet and TDM technologies for deploying optical ring,
mesh, and linear add/drop topologies with 99.999% service
availability. All plug-in cards, fans and chassis power
distribution are designed for resilient operation with no single
point of failure. The modular architecture enables carriers to
select configurations for specific applications, whether ROADM-
only, aggregation-only, or combinations of service aggregation
and WDM on a single network element. The FLASHWAVE 9500
system reduces footprint, capital/operational expenses, and
complexity by collapsing multiple technologies and network
layers into a single, easy-to-use, modular platform.
Two Chassis Options
Two chassis options are available: the HDS for 23-inch racks and
the SDS for 19-inch racks, where each model can be expanded to
multiple chassis sharing the same node ID. This offers a highly modular
and scalable system for packet optical networking. The internal packet Applications Technologies
and TDM switch capability maximizes service delivery efficiency through • Bandwidth optimization • OTN
dedicated centralized packet, OTN and TDM switch fabrics.
• Enterprise services • 100G–1TB transport
The centralized fully redundant switch fabric provides any-to-any • Mobile backhaul • High-density ROADM
switching capability and aggregation for any service to any port on the • OTN transport • EoX gateway
platform. The switch fabric offers dedicated 100% OTN, along with 100%
• DCS replacement • MEF Carrier Ethernet
packet, 100% SONET/SDH operation, and the ability for interworking.
This architecture minimizes stranded port capacity, allowing efficient • Multiservice provisioning • Coherent Optical Networking
modular scaling for interconnection between the FLASHWAVE 9500 • CDC ROADM
platform and expensive core router interfaces. As a result, the number
of ports needed for a given application is significantly reduced, lowering
capex and minimizing first capital cost, while protecting the equipment
investment.
